'True Blood' casts two werewolves for recurring roles

True Blood producers have cast two new major characters for the upcoming fifth season.

The Ring Two's Kelly Overton and The Last Exorcism actor Louis Herthum have signed up for recurring roles for multiple episodes in the HBO drama.

Overton will star in at least six episodes, while Herthum will appear in five, according to Deadline. Both deals also reportedly have series regular options for the season.

Herthum will play a large Marine-style werewolf who will not bow down to a new pack leader, while Overton will star as Rikki, a "dirty, beautiful" werewolf who wants to know what happened to their previous leader.
